I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

Frankie smiled softly as he held him close.

Alex smiled softky,

Julian nodded, "Yeah."

Jacen leaned his head on Frankie's chest, closing his eyes as he tried to relax.

"Will you be fine here?"

"What do you want?" Remy asked.

Frankie started to carry him downstairs.

"Yeah, Jasper is here is anything happens."

"Ramen!" Julian said.

Jacen held onto Frankie tightly, leaning against him more.

Artemis smiled and nodded. "True..."

"Okay." Remy chuckled before getting up.

Frankie was carefully as he went down the stairs/

Alex kissed his cheek.

Julian smiled as he rubbed his stomach.

"Love you..." Jacen mumbled.

"I'll be back later, okay?"

Remy smiled at him before going out into the kitchen.

"I love you too." Frankie said with a soft smile.

Alex nodded. "Love you."

Julian picked up a book as he waited.

Jacen smiled before starting to fall back asleep in Frankie's arms.

"Love you." Artemis smiled, hugging Alex tightly.

Remy came back soon after with Julian's food.

Alex smiled happily and kissed him softly.

Julian smiled as he took the offered bowl.

Jay slowly opened his eyes.

Artemis kissed him back before reluctantly letting go.

Remy smiled and sat back beside him.

Cody was half asleep, curled up against Jay, one arm around his friend.

Alex sighed but let him go.

Julian started on his food.

Artemis frowned at the sigh and kissed him again. "We shouldn't be gone too long."

"Good?" Remy asked as he watched him.

Alex nodded, "Be careful."

Julian nodded, "Very good."

"I will." Artemis nodded, kissing Alex's head.

"Thanks." Remy grinned.

Alex smiled softly.

Julian kisses his cheek with a smile.

Artemis gave a small smile before turning and going to find Frankie.

Remy chuckled and carefully pulled Julian close.

Frankie was in the hallway with Jacen.

Julian smiled as he relaxed again.

Jay curled up sadly, wanting to know if Seth was ok.

Artemis smiled when he saw them, speaking quietly when he saw Jacen asleep. "Ready to go?"

Remy held Julian close, running his fingers through his hair.

Cody frowned, hugging his friend tighter. "Grel will find him..."

Frankie nodded, "Yeah we're ready."

Julian smiled softly.

"B-But will he be ok?"

Artemis nodded and led them out to his car.

Remy was quiet for a few minutes before speaking. "Have you heard from the others at all?"

"I hope so..." Cody frowned.

Frankie got into the back with Jacen.

"No.. I havn't.." Julian answered softly.

Jay bit his lip hard.

Jacen made an irritated sound and shifted uncomfortably, but settled again after a minute, leaning against Frankie.

Remy frowned, looking worried. "Me either...dad was meant to come today..." he said quietly, referring to Cody as 'dad' because he was the only parent he knew.

"Should we tell the others?"

Frankie rubbed his back gently.

Julian nodded worriedly. "Yeah... And dad hasn't call in a while either..."

"I.. I don't know... Could Julian handle the stress?" Jay asked softly.

Jacen smiled in his sleep and relaxed more.
Artemis waited until Jacen was settled before starting to drive.

"Maybe Ted has them busy?"

Cody sighed and frowned. "Probably not..."

"Maybe... He does like to over work them.."

Jay paced worriedly, "What do i do Codes...?"
